We
are a group of committed professionals who are dedicated to creating a
forward looking, environmentally conscious community of trained healing
professionals and expressive arts therapists that has originally formed
on the East coast over the past fifteen years. We have a strong desire
to relocate in a more environmentally conscious community. Central to
the Luminare Ltd. Center’s residential community, a group of
spiritually aligned health and well being practitioners together with
expressive artists and environmental designers, is the commitment to
create the conference, workshop and retreat center known as the Life Force Healing Center.
The center would host major conferences with enlightened spiritual,
alternative health and environmental leaders. In addition, it would be
an active retreat center where people could attend healing and
expressive art events. Attendees can also choose to attend the long
term, one to two week healing retreats designed around the needs of
those who seek transformation in the spiritual, mental, emotional
and/or physical realms.

Earth HeART, is
also a unique component of the environmental organization of Luminare
Ltd. It contains the Guild of Builders, and who are involved in the
design and building of environmentally conscious structures, along with
permaculture specialists for design of agriculture and wildlife
pathways in harmony with the land.

The
model community qualifies as a Planned Unit Development using extremely
energy efficient building modalities in building homes and
structures. Building methods, such as the earth bermed, cordwood
masonry and straw bale, along with use of solar energy would be
integrated into the planned architecture.

It
is the intent that this particular Luminare Ltd. Center would be a
‘model center’ that would eventually be replicated and built in
response to the particular terrain in different geographical locations
around the world.

Location of the first Luminare Ltd. Center

Currently
Luminare is a group of aligned souls with the harmonious intent to live
in a sustainable manner in nature with full respect and dignity for one
another and all of creation. We are a group of gifted professionals who
include artists, musicians and healers who have been working to help
raise the harmonious vibration of the planet one heart at a time
through expressing acceptance and love in community. We intend to use
our gifts in helping others. Those who would choose to join in our
venture of creating the Wellness and Expressive Arts Center in
particular geographical locations, would eventually relocate from the
east coast to join us in community. It is the intent that this
particular Luminare Wellness and Expressive Arts Center would be
a ‘model center’ that would eventually be replicated and built in
response to the particular terrain in different geographical locations,
eventually around the world.

The Proposed Locations of the First & Second Established Luminare Wellness and Expressive Arts Centers

To
research for a suitable location, I am locating an ecologically and
spiritually sound community to join with in North Carolina. It is an ideal and
beautiful location for a retreat center and livable community in
harmony with the lush environment with natural waterways, located in
the region of Asheville, North Carolina, located 20 minutes from the Asheville
Regional Airport (AVL).

The
Asheville, North Carolina area has a high consciousness in environmental
awareness, embracing transformation, responding to healing modalities
and the cultural arts. Also there are many national events annually in the arts, music, dance, theatre and film.

The
location of our second center would be at Ashland, Oregon,
and the surrounding area, is also a beautiful location with a wealth of
natural resources and wildlife with an environmentally aware
community. This is a place where we hope to establish a second retreat
center in the future.

If
you need in any further information or have further questions about the
LUMINARE LTD. CENTER, please feel free to contact me at RosemaryLane@Luminare.org.

The
spiritual aspect of the community will focus on the union and honoring
of both Eastern and Western philosophies & ideologies. Our
philosophy is that all of us are coexisting as part of the same God’s
earthly creation. It is our goal to help create “Heaven on Earth” by
introducing an alternative way to live in peace and harmony with
creation!
